RE: Arrest At Elementary School

I am appalled by the letters I have read regarding this sad incident. All of you claim to be Mothers but a Mother would know when children are involved you do as minimal damage as possible. Apparently, you seem to have forgotten that the gentleman who was apprehended has children. In fact a good portion of his family is local. How horribly inconsiderate of you all to discuss this on a public forum such as this.

This family has to live amongst us in this community. His children have to hear his name run through the mud. His parents who are upstanding members of this community have to deal with consequences from all sides. Honestly, it's quite disappointing that anyone would find this appropriate when children are involved.

Shame on you all! Instead of being considerate to the family who is dealing with this. You've taken away their privacy and put children in the line of fire. Empathy and sympathy, and consideration for a family in this situation would have been an appropriate response.

Two wrongs have NEVER made a right!
